    They all have some Eurasian geneflow...if that helps :think

    Science is coming to a shy conclusion that genes associated with pleasure & reflexes are higher in Subsaharan regions...As populations migrated into cold climate regions only more depressed, apleasant humans were capable of surviving those regions.

    This would have to be built on popularity and what they did for boxing on the casual level and not only their resumes. So it would have to be Ali, Robinson, Tyson and Jack Dempsey.

    Tyson was exciting!! He came to fight and captured the imagination of the masses on an unprecedented scale(like all great fighters seem to do!)

    Dempsey was a beast too, and an icon of his era.

    I know Marciano was a good fighter too. Im not sure if it was just bad timing, but he came along and cleaned out all the older,fading Champions.

    Ali and Robinson. No list is complete without them. SRR for his abities, and Ali,moreso for his contribution to boxing history. The stories surrounding him lnow no end! He holds the record for more books being written about him than any other single boxer that ever lived.

    All great solid American citizens, who deserve to take their places amongst this countries finest collection of pure china!

    sorry. Im catching some sort of ESB virus that makes me write stuff as stupid as some of the stupidest, lowest IQs boxing experts/trolls on this forum.

    With time i could get worse. Thanks for your time:hi:
